livepaper

A rust program to dynamically update your wallpaper based on the time of day.

Features

• compatible with linux and windows (macos will probably come soon)
• automatically changes wallpaper: it detects the current desktop and uses a set of commands to change the wallpaper automatically. Supported: Windows, Linux/Gnome, Linux/Hyprland (using hyprpaper) and more coming soon. In any other case you can set the desktop_command option.
• optimized regeneration: It will not generate a new image if nothing changed from the last time
• BLAZINGLY FAST
